Happiness

Happiness

Happiness comes and goes.

Happiness gives us a lot of relief from tension.

Happiness teaches us what the life means.

Happiness makes us forget all our sorrows.

Happiness gives us a new lesson of surviving in our life.

Had there been no happiness, 

Life would have been like a hell.

Happiness makes you feel happy at every time.

Joke, laughter, playing entertainment is all about happiness.

Happiness never ends; it ends when you feel sad around you.

Happiness becomes your friend when you are very happy

True Happiness

The smile across her face is reflected in her eyes

This happiness she has, it’s not a lie

If she could, she would scream and jump for joy

But this happiness isn’t coming from a toy

Her cheeks hurt for smiling so long

I think she might start to sing a song

A song about true happiness

A feeling that she found in her heart

This happiness, she wants everyone to be apart of

This happiness is never to be taken away

She wants it so badly to stay

For all her life she’s been sad and lonely

But she finally found a cure

So please don’t ruin it for her 

 

“If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence” …Plato

“O happiness!  Our being’s end and aim! 

Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate’er thy name;

The something still which prompts the eternal sigh,

For which we bear to live, or dare to die.” …Alexander Pope

Happiness can be said in a song!

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one,

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one…John Lennon..”Imagine”

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind, but now I see.. John Newton…”Amazing Grace”

I’ve looked at life from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It’s life’s illusions I recall

I really don’t know life at all…Joni Mitchell…”Both Sides Now”

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of…Burt Bacharach…”What the World needs now is Love”

I’ve lived a life that’s full

I traveled each and every highway

But more, much more that this

I did it my way…Paul Anka…”My Way”

When you’re weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes,

I will dry them all

I’m on your side

When times get rough

And friends just can’t be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down…Paul Simon…”Bridge over Troubled Water”

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it may be a lunatic you’re looking for…Billy Joel…”You May Be Right”

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England’s greenest hills 

Your candle’s burned out long before

Your legend ever…Elton John and Bernie Taupin…”Candle in the Wind 1997,” for Princess Daina’s funeral.
